Oxygen.
Combustion
It's the final electron acceptor, due to its high affinity for electrons.
In anaemia 23-dpg is increased & oxygen affinity is reduced.. Tissue gets more oxygen... Thanks...
First EA is usually exothermic as energy is released when the nucleus attarcts an electron is larger than the energy taken in to overcome their inter-electronic repulsion. Second EA is always endothermic since electron is added to a negative ion. Energy is needed to overcome the repulsion between the two negatively charged species.
It has high affinity for electrons.
Sulphur. Please see the link.
Due to small size and high electron density of oxygen compared to sulphur, interelectronic repulsion is higher in oxygen, resulting in less energy being released when an electron is added to oxygen, due to lesser stability after electron is added, which is due to the interelectronic repulsion in the small oxygen atom. Hence electron affinity value is lower. It is an abnormality and exception to the general periodic trend of electronic affinity values.
Oxygen: It has higher electronegativity than any of the others listed.
Yes. Oxygen has greater electron affinity than any other element except fluorine.
Polonium has the lowest electron affinity in the oxygen family.

Sulphur
This element is fluorine.
Electron affinity of chlorine is far grater than oxygen. For oxygen, its value is 141 KJ/mole whereas for Chlorine, it is 349 KJ/mole. Thus, adding an electron is more favourable in case of a gaseous chlorine atom
It is positive. In relation to oxygen at least.
It's the final electron acceptor, due to its high affinity for electrons.
when one part of it has a higher electron affinity that isn't canceled out by another. example: H2O H-O-H Oxygen has a very high electron affinity, it pulls on electrons a lot harder than other atoms (except fluorine, which has the highest electron affinity). Oxygen pulls the electrons away from the hydrogen atoms giving it a relatively negative charge, and giving the hydrogen atoms a positive charge. But: CO2 O-C-O Both Oxygen atoms are pulling on the electrons the same amount so there aren't any more in one part of the molecule than another. That's the basic explanation.
